Cambuur is comfortably second in the league table and enters the match in excellent form: they have won four of their last five games and drawn one. Their attack is consistent, scoring eight goals, and Cambuur have scored at least once in every match. However, their defense isn't always flawless: the hosts have conceded in three of their five matches, including a 3-2 win against Almere City, where they had to fight back.
Jong AZ Alkmaar is in 19th place and is winless in five matches (three losses, two draws). Despite their modest results, the team has scored in four of their last five matches, almost always scoring twice. However, the visitors' defense has been prone to lapses, conceding in four of their five matches. Their only head-to-head meeting this season ended with a narrow 1-0 victory for Cambuur, but that match was a tense one.
Given the hosts' consistent scoring record, their minor defensive woes, and the visitors' ability to respond even in defeats, a goal-scoring game seems the most likely outcome. Kambuur will prevail thanks to their class, but are unlikely to keep a clean sheet.
